Then you aren't paying attention.
I'm not surprised at all that people have cut off family and friends who want to destroy their lives and support people who want to destroy their lives.
And even there, it seems you find the personal interactions more important than the societal ones.
Because that's what you look for.
Your friends are right wing, so you see them get hit by this.
If you had left wing friends, you would see how much shit they get.
No. It's nothing like that at all.
What are you even talking about?
Yes.
But let's do a simple test.
Please point to the laws suppressing conservative speech that have been recently passed.
Then please look at the laws suppressing history, banning books, and dictating to teachers that they don't say anything that contradicts the party line and who is passing them. (You can start in Texas and Florida in the US.)
Then report back what you find.
"The MSM likes conflict because it is better ratings" is very true.
Extend that to "Those influencers I am following who keep telling me how under threat we are from the woke left like conflict and create it in order to get engagement and more money" and you are starting to get the picture.
If you really believe what you say about accepting each other's differences and finding a way to work things out, you should get on that. One of the first things you are going to have to do is give up your victim complex about how under siege you are because people might disagree with you. Unfortunately, I have no reason to believe that "we should all get along" and "accept each other's differences" for you means anything more than "stop disagreeing with me and never make me feel uncomfortable about anything".
He's just following his hero.
Elon immediately started banning people as soon as he got control of Twitter.
Mostly for making fun of him, but he has thrown a bunch of people who report on right wing extremism off as well from what I understand.
an individual tweet from someone I don’t know… about a sex Crime I had never heard of. Or something like that.
he took his ball and went home?
It is a bit more complicated than that.
There are groups that are Antifa.
But that's like saying there are groups that are "pro-Capitalist". There isn't a "Pro-Capitalist" organization that controls all these groups, even if they share some ideology in common.
I didn't realize she even has a twitter.
I guess it doesn't violate her NDA to just correct him when he lies.
He doesn't appear to have fired the dead wood, though.
He fired people who won't suck up to him.
I don't think "pro-asshole" is a great position to announce, but you do you.
I thought you said you were pro Elon and Trump?
Here you say you are pro free speech and against liars.
Which is it?
There was another review board like Terb that was free speech friendly with little moderation, every thread was about BBFS and people had the most disgusting sig pics. Now, they moderate their stuff heavily but I think the damage that was done is permanent and no decent MPA/SP/Agency will advertise.
I think it's noteworthy that Trump maintains his blue and red colour spectrum with his suit and tie respectively. But he is attempting to increase his orange colour spectrum with frequent spray tanning. It's a brilliant strategy.
Biden is orange-deficient and that counts heavily against him.
Twitter is a place for people to whine and complain, lie and mislead…I’d have no problem if it crashes and burns.
This is getting interesting
If they do this many people will switch to android and possibly X will make their own phone. More players are needed in this space rather then just google and Apple controlling everything.

If this happens, I dont think people will adopt a 3rd platform just for Twitter. It would be much easier and cheaper to switch to a different social media platform instead.
Not to mention it will take the 3rd platform a long time to reach the technology maturity of Apple and Google. People outside of the US will also not adopt Elon's platform.
Totally. I infact am sending vibes so it actually crashes. Regardless of Elon's takeover, it was, is and will always be a cesspool.
I deleted my Twitter yesterday because of all the toxic BS that was sucking me in. Very unhealthy.
This could hold some validity. However as far as I know you can still download apps on the android phones and bypass the play store. I though android was very popular outside the states especially India, Asian and European markets.
You could yes. But you'd have to go to the Twitter homepage everytime for updated versions that they need to make available. The play store auto updates your apps. Its idiot proof. Having people download, locate the .apk on your phone, install etc will definitely negatively impact adoption.
